So I want to start wearing a bra. I've tried some on in front of the mirror and I think it does a lot for my figure and helps with passing. My problem is, being pre-HRT, I don't have anything to fill it out with! I'm obviously not the first girl with this problem...so does anyone have any advice or experience to share? I'd rather not go with breastforms simply because of the expense, but I'm open to ideas.

Use Millet seed in stockings. Pour a cup or so of Millet into the toe of an old stocking and twist it, then double the stocking over itself a few times (twist every time you double it over) so you have layers. Tie it closed and snip off the excess. Now you have a nice inexpensive homemade breast form. Repeat as necessary.

I made some out of foam shoulder pads. I sewed through them to shape them. I also use silicon inserts from Primark (a very cheap shop in the UK). The foam ones I made are attached to a bodysuit with hip padding too, and I can wear any bra over them. The inserts go in a variety of bras, but they have to have closed cups or they'll fall out, so I've altered some bras to close the cup by adding more foam inserts where the cup finished.

I'm going to need a sports bra for when I start doing serious exercise, I've been doing it as a man so far.
